Technical issues thread figamin ## sysop January 31 2022 01:32:47 No.64 [Reply]

I know multiple wapnons have been having issues with replying and other aspects of the site. I mainly use arch and firefox, so if you could say
>what the problem is
>operating system
>browser
>extensions that you may think contribute
then I could test accordingly and hopefully fix these issues.

If you can't reply at all then send a message to admin@wapchan.org with your issues.

I can't load one of the hidden boards, it's giving me connection refused errors.

i want to be able to hide threads instead of boards on wapchan. i can only hide them on an android phone.

In the catalog the mouseover for images is strange. It looks like some `date' patterns are not interpreted properly.

Seems there's been some misinterpretation of the rules. Hentai & NSFW doujin discussion isn't banned, you just do it on the normal boards and spoiler your explicit images.

I'll go ahead and give my two cents as one of the jannies: I agree with the points made by these two anons >>3501 >>3509 that having image dump threads like on 4chan /h/ would be a bad idea as it would lower the quality of this site and, in my opinion, be a nightmare to moderate with the debate around lolicon/shotacon and with the problem altchans have with spammers trying to upload real CSAM.

But at the same time as figamin and others have mentioned merely discussing sexual content and posting light eechi that's relevant to anime discussed here (like for example one of the Lum threads has a screenshot of topless Lum from Urusei Yatsura itself) isn't against the rules.

>Pornography _can_ be degenerate but its not set in stone.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Some of the greatest pieces of fiction contain sexual content, and there is no literary or artistic rule that excludes eroge and doujinshi from the broad category of the arts.
Personally I am of the opinion that, were Shakeasspeare, Goethe or Wittgenstein born as japanese citizens in the 80's, they would've resorted to writing eroge as an expression of their artistic and philosophical ideals.

>>3510
Thank you for the clarification figamin-san, no, figamin-sama.
If I ever feel the need to make a thread about explicit contents, I'll make sure to abide by those rules.

anon February 26 2026 02:59:31 No.3513

I don't think wapchan needs a hentai board at all unless it was for the discussion of retro hentai which i guess could be a niche some people here might be interested in. But image dump boards are a waste of disk space when most of the stuff posted in them can be found on booru sites like gel booru and rule 34.

Would you enjoy a R9K-style hentai board that blocks images with file hashes duplicated on a booru? Let's assume it would also have some way of automatically filtering out thumbnails and AI slop. A board only for the rare/harder to find stuff.

hi! i was wondering if what possible to implement a different captcha for /kind/ and less anime-centric boards where the users may not know all of the characters?
also wondering if you take any donations or had an irc :D

figamin ## sysop February 24 2026 12:40:12 No.3507

>>3506
Hi!
It would probably take some work to get /kind/ to use a separate captcha, but I can look into it.
As for donations, there isn't a page currently setup, but I'll get one up soon.
IRC is #wapchan on Rizon.

Spreading the word about wapchan. I found wapchan through another forum

Apparently, 4 has implemented some kind of fingerprinting cookie to protect against anonymization. I'll shill wap in a few places then I'm out of there for good.

Yeah, was wondering why I couldn't post, oh well, Wapchan usually has some fun threads and posts after I forget about it for a while so it'll be fun to be back.

Art Board That Isn't /art/ anon February 14 2026 18:00:32 No.3492 [Reply]

Could there be a place to upload our drawings for everyone to see? I use traditional art and I'm not that great with digital to be honest.

How do I remove that horrible sidebar and return to the previous design without annoying "useful" features? Figamin, we love you, but please don't go modern-internet on us. Turn it back. I want my threads as a list like before. I want a zen page without sidebars. I want images to load full-sized only if I click on them. I don't want THIS.

Sorry for being harsh earlier. And thank you for returning things to the way they were so quick. I can understand the desire to constantly improve things, and I probably should've been more tactful about it. Please don't take it personally. It was just a thing that some people who consider this place home can't accept.

Please exclude the F1 threads from Recent Images anon February 11 2026 19:54:32 No.3486 [Reply]

As you can see /F1/ is completely crowding out the recent images tab on the front page. This is only going to get worse as it is currently the offseason.
Being included in the Active Threads is nice though, that way we're not completely hidden from sight.

anon February 11 2026 21:39:22 No.3487

>>3486
I don't see a problem with the F1 images. /kind/ floods the place with images everyday, yet no one here ever complains, why should we remove them?

figamin ## sysop February 11 2026 21:41:29 No.3488

>>3486
This has been changed
>>3487
It's probably because all the F1 images come from a single thread, but I don't currently have a way to set a cap per board (maybe that can be a better solution)

anon February 11 2026 22:23:46 No.3489

>>3487
Just trying to be considerate to the rest of the site, /kind/ images are at least related to the core interest of the site most of the time.
>>3488
Thank you figamin.

anon February 11 2026 23:48:50 No.3490

The problem is that f1 is the only thing posted on /sp/ and probably the most active thread on the whole of the site which is very slow.

Thread Redesign figamin ## sysop February 7 2026 19:52:05 No.3472 [Reply]

Since I redesigned the homepage, I had the idea of incorporating the sidebar into the main thread design, and updating the threads themselves to be somewhat closer to a forum. I am still testing things out but I wonder if people would be alright with this. It's a break from the traditional imageboard look but I think it'll be more distinctive.

Also a way to toggle what boards and posts from boards you see on the front page would be nice. Like, for example, hiding posts from the sports board.

anon February 7 2026 23:16:45 No.3476

>>3473
>>3474
I also think the separation between the attachment and comment doesn't really work. It makes it look like an avatar on a traditional forum.

figamin !!dhYLcvqEig February 7 2026 23:31:40 No.3477

Alright, for now I'll move it back to a more futaba style layout with the sidebar. I'll send a screenshot of that when it's closer to being ready.
>>3475
I'll try to see if this can be done
>>3476
I guess you're right, I just thought it looked clean but it does give off that impression.

figamin ## sysop February 11 2026 02:38:27 No.3484

The new UI can be accessed at https://new.wapchan.org
Note that currently it dosen't quite sync right so sometimes posts made on the regular UI might not show up unless you make a new reply on there. I am getting burnt out on this so I will try to find a solution down the line but it should work for the most part.

anon February 11 2026 06:16:25 No.3485

Please keep the Helvetica font. It looks way better. Gives the site a bit of a 60s modernist look.

You can use #wapchan in Rizon.
Only issue is I don't have admin perms since my old rizon account got deleted and someone idling there took over which is why I haven't promoted it.
I'm just not sure what name to use for a different channel that wouldn't confuse people

you could setup an onionshare web chat page (onionshare.org). It's really easy to setup, is just that only onion user can join. What's interesting about onionshare web chat is that, the ability of the host admin able to ban user from webchat. Yeah, you can have that kind of power tripping measures dispite of connecting through onion service network.

anon February 8 2026 14:12:10 No.3480

I didn't even know that there was an IRC. I would love to join if it comes back up
